Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Madam Deng was very disgusted with Third Young Master Jiang’s behavior, but she was only the second sister-in-law of the Jiang family who was not favored.
The Jiang family’s parents doted on their third son very much. They had spoiled him.
Previously, he did restrain himself for some time because he had gotten engaged to the Ding family.
The marriage between the two families was decided by the two old ladies. The old lady of the Ding family did not like Ding Yuehua very much. This was because Ding Yuehua had a business mind which resulted in Lord Ding handing a portion of the business to her.
Originally, Old Lady Ding had wanted to persuade Lord Ding to give this business to her second son.
In the end, Ding Yuehua got the portion of the business instead, which Old Lady Ding found ridiculous. Why should a woman who was destined to marry manage her family’s business? The profits would be hard to calculate in the future. As such, she wanted to marry Ding Yuehua off and even picked Third Young Master Jiang.
Lord Ding and Mrs. Ding did not agree, of course. It was just that Old Lady Ding made the decision herself and this matter was decided when Lord Ding was not at home.
In the end, when Third Young Master Jiang went to the Ding family and saw Ding Yuehua’s appearance, he was unwilling to marry her no matter what. Instead, he took a fancy to the third young lady who was more beautiful, and insisted on having her instead.
It was such an outrageous request, but the Jiang family still tolerated it.
The engaged Third Young Master Jiang did restrain himself for a while.
Until… Some time ago, something happened in the county office, and the Jiang family eagerly broke off the engagement with the Ding family.
Without the shackles of marriage, Third Young Master Jiang reverted to his old self and began flirting around again.
Just now, after seeing Lu Shuyu’s appearance, his old habits acted up again.
Naturally, Madam Deng would not tell him about Shu Yu. She just frowned and said, “That girl is just a customer who came to buy wine. How would I know her name and where she lives?
Third Young Master Jiang’s face immediately darkened and he looked at Madam Deng with disdain, “You’re a businessman. Don’t you even know to ask about these things?
Madam Deng was speechless. Did she have to learn the family background of all customers just to run a shop?
The third young master of the Jiang family was simply crazy.
But soon, Third Young Master Jiang said smugly, “It’s fine. She’s driving a mule carriage. I’ll ask around and I guarantee that I’ll know her name in less than two days.”
Madam Deng secretly cursed in her heart.
When Jiang Yi heard this, he frowned and said, “Third Brother, don’t do anything rash. Now that Jiangyuan County is in chaos, and our Jiang family is on bad terms with the Ding family, we’ll definitely become a target for others if there’s any more trouble.”
Third Young Master Jiang got impatient, “What do you mean? Are you trying to say that it’s my fault that our family has become enemies with the Ding family? Second Brother, the decision to break off the engagement was made by Mom and Dad, and Grandma agreed. Are you questioning their decision by saying this now?
“I didn’t mean that.”
“Then what do you mean? That girl is just a country bumpkin with no money or power. It’s her fortune that the third young master of the Jiang family has taken a fancy to her. Perhaps her family will be eager for me to come and visit.”
After Third Young Master Jiang finished speaking, he glared at the two of them in disgust. He did not enter the wine shop and turned around to leave. Madam Deng and Jiang Yi looked at each other. The former was a little worried
“What should we do?”
“With Third Brother’s personality, he can’t be persuaded. I think we should talk to that girl first and see if there’s any way to dispel his thoughts.”
“But I only know that the girl has a shop on Ningshui Street. I don’t know where it is or what the shop sells..”
